HITEHA VEX, OCT. 11. On Tuesday last, the Workington Hunt and Agricultural Meeting commenced. The attend ance was more numerous than on any former year, and the weather proved favourable for the sports of the field. The New Rooms, which were opened upon the occasion, are commodious and handsome. The assemblies were brilliant, and graced with much youth and beauty. • The ball was attended by up wards of Z oo, and the same number at Mrs. Cur wen's party, on Thursday evening. The ordinaries were numerously attended. The most remarkable feature in this Meeting is the general spirit, cordiality, • and good humour which seem to animate all who attend it. The attention and. politeness of the Steward, H. Howard, Esq. of Corby, gave univer sal satisfaction, and 'contributed in no small degree to the pleasure of the Meeting. J. D. B. Dykes, Eaq. and - Chbrleton, Esq. were eteeted Stewards for the ensuing year. -- On Thursday morning, a very large party of gen tlemen and farmers, from various parts of the king dorn,„ assembled at the Schoose, to inspe& the farm and_implements of husbandry. The Cultivator at traaed particular attention, as likely to be highly beneficial. The appearance of the farm was allowed to be greatly improved in the last twelve months ; the green crops were weighty, and in the best state of cultivation. An experiment, to ascertain whether by Soiling or grazing the gitatest increase of weight could be obtained, attracted particular notice. Two , West Highland cows had been seleeted; the one soiled was aged, and had gained, from the 14th of May to the . 3d of October, sixteen ?tone ; the other was four years old, and had gained gst. b?ilb. Six other small Highlanders, put up to feed on the 29th of June, had on an:average increased Bst. or one pound and a half per day.—This experiment is highly important to the farmer, and cannot fail of pointing out th e advantages of soiling. The assemblage of persons at the Schoose,-on Friday- morning, was greater than ever witnessed. The morning was employed in viewing the stock, the implements and ploughing-match ; 63 . 0 persons sat down -to dinner with the_President ; the weather proving unfavourable, the party adjourned to the Assembly-room, where the premiums were distri -buted by . the President. The Society was honoured with the presence of the Ladies who had attended the Meeting. The various stock shewn were much admired. Above too new Members were added to die Society, which was previously more numerous than any other Agricultural Society in the kingdom: Not withstanding the unfaVourableness of the weather, the spectacle was interesting and gratifying to all. Duren; dinner, near 300 boys and girls, educating on Dr. Bell's '-and Mr. Lancaster's plan, passed through the.tent ; it would be difficult to describe the effect t this interesting sight produced ! In addi tion-to Dr. Bell's plan, these children are to be em ployed in the farm, in weeding, &c. so that, at the earliest age, they will be able to earn what will pay for their education. This mode of teaching bids fair to inculcate the principles of religion, honesty, and independence, so strongly on their tender minds, es can scarcely fail of promoting their own happi ness, and making them useful and va!uable members of society. Mr. Benn, of Middleton-place, proposed that a piece of plate should be given to the President as a mark of their esteem for him, and in approbation of his condual ; which was unanimously adopted, with the most marked expressions of satisfattion, and steps will be 'taken to carry the resolution into et= feat. The President proposed a General Association for prosecuting the persons guilty of the shameful de predations made upon turnips, and other_ green crops, in the neighbourhood of towns, which was adopted, and will be attended with general good con sequences. _ _ After the conclusion of the business of the So ciety', a superb* vase was presented to the President from the Manks branch of the Society, with the fol lowing inscription : " To 1. C. CURVY-EN, Esq. M. P. " Member of the House of Keys, " And President of the Agricultural Society of " THE ISLE OF MAN; In grateful acknowledgment of his strenuous and success ful aims in Parliament, in defence! 'of their Country's rights and independence, and of the benefits which their rising Agriculture has received from his proteetion and ex ample, " THIS TRIBUTE, OF RESPECT " Is presented by the Natives of 1808."

MANSIONT-HOUSE, OCT. 13.—A respeaah!e look ing elderly female was charged with steiling .1 piece of silk from the shop of Mr. Burredge, umbrella im nuladurer. The fore-woman of Mr. Burredge stated, that the prisoner had been in the habit of working for her Master at her own house : on Monday last sbe came and asked for some work ; the witness informed her time was none ready, and she went away : a short time afterwards the winless missed a piece of green silk ; there had been two pieces on the counter be fore the prisoner came in, and but one piece re , mained after she bad left the shop; the witness was .certain there was not any other person but the pri soner in the shop from the time she had seen the two pieces together,, until she missed one of them, except the prisoner, Who, on going away, bid her good morning, and walked -out of the shop sideways. Mr. Burredge stated, that when he came home the last witness informed him of her suspicions; he immediately went to the prisoner's house in Gaytou street, London-Wall, and - was informed she was not at home; went again on the next day, and re ceived the same answer ; called there yesterday, and was informed she was on a visit to a triend in Chis well-street ; he went there, accompanied by an officer; the prisonerwas at tea with the Lady of the house; he acquainted 'her with his business; she protested she was innocent, abd denied having seen the silk. The officer searched her and the house, but not a vestige of it was to be found. The prisoner seemed much affected at being called 'on for' her defence; she fainted ; she was supported by her..son, a genteel looking young man; , about 20 years of age ; for several minutes she was notable to articulate a word, her feelings were so much. hurt ; on being recovered, she stated, that she was a widow, and had a large family; on the death of her .husband her circumstances were much reduced, and she was obliged to take in needle-Work, to enable her to bring up her family ; she had done a vast deal .of work for Mr., Burredge : she called there on -Mon day to ask for work ; she saw the fore-woman, who said there was none ready ; she immediately wished her good morning, and walked out of the shop in her usual way, her gown being tucked under her arm ; she did not notice there was any silkonthe counter, she was not near the counter ; she was per feCtly innocent of the charge ; her charaCter never before had been impeached; she had been accustom ed to live a moral life; and there were several re-, speetable persons who would speak to her general character and .conduct. . . The LORD MAYOR observed to the, prosecutor, there was not sufficient proof against the prisoner to justify him to commit her. It was not probable that a person of her appearance or character would be guilty of such a crime. The silk might . be mis laid, or his own servants might have taken it ; under those considerations, he would discharge the prisoner, and she was accordingly diseharged, to the evident satisfaetion of the whole Court. GUILDHALL, OCT. 13.—George Scott was charged by Mr. Wm. Paine, of the Furnivars Inn Ceilar,with stealing from his larder two fowls and a round of beef, all ready dressed. Mr. George Grove, watch and clock-maker,Wood street, Cheapside, stated, that on .Wednesday night, be was going through Holborn ; he saw several per sons standing at the door of Furnival's Inn Cellar ; they . attraaed his notice, and he stopped; he saw the prisoner go down the steps, and put his hand into the larder, which is on the steps, and take out two ,roast fowls and a boiled round of beef ; at first he thought he was a waiter belonging to the Cellar, but instead of ,taking them down into the Cellar, he brought them into the street; the witness called out, on which the prisoner threw the beef and fowls at him; he caught one of the fowls in his hand, and made a blow at the prisoner with it ; he attempted to secure the prisoner, but he was knocked about by the prisoner's companions. The people in the Cel lar having got ,the alarm, some of them came up, when the prisoner and his companions ran off; ,the witness fOowed the prisoner ; he ran down a narrow lane; thf ‘ ,,,:tness was near up to him, When he received a v iolent blow in: his mouth, which cut it, and knocked him down ; the I!,'isoner immediately turned abc.ut, and jumped over him; could not say it was the prisoner that struck him ; he got up, and again followed him ; at the end of the lane a watchman and Mr. Paine stopped the pri soner, and took him into custody. He was positive the prisoner was the same man that he had seen take the articles from the larder. • The prisoner made no defence. • The Magistrate gave him his choice, of being committed to take his trial, or to enlist in one of his Majesty's regiments. He preferred the latter, and was ordered to be delivered over to a recruiting serje:Ant. Richard IVilhes,' who was charged, on Monday last, by Mr. Grove, for claiming a parcel that had fallen into his yard on Saturday evening, was fully committed for trial ; Thomas Page and Isaac Marsh, the porter and driver of the Bull Inn, Bishopsgate street; delivering waggon, having proved that the parcel was stolen from the waggon, in Wood-street, Cheapside. Harrison and Watson, the two young men who were charged on Monday with being accessary - to the death of an- old man, name unknown, in Long• lane, on Sunday last, and were remanded until the verdiCt of the Coroner's Inquest was known, were brought up. The Coroner's Inquest sat last night, and brought in their verdict--Accidental The Prisoners were, of course, discharged. Peter Collins, a private in the Tower Hamlets Militia, was committed to Bridewell for fortnight, he being found, at eight o'clock last night, in the house of Mr. Henry Shelton, lapidary, llean•street, and being unable to account for his being there. Yesterday morning J. Sandy, the porter of a che mist and druggist in East Smithfield, was brought up, charged with being the assistant of his master in the manufaCture of spirits of wine, by a private still, contrary to the statute of the 33d of the King, which_ prohibits the use of private stills, under a , pe - lialty of 2001. and any person aiding or assisting in the use ;hereof, is subject to the penalty of 301. Ambrose Hart, an Excise Officer, stated, that having received information that there was a private still going to work at the house of Messrs. - Renshaw' and Co. Chemists, East Smithfield, he went thither; accompanied by a brother Officer, and forced.their way to a back workshop of the Defend.ints, where they found a still, capable of holding HA gall Ons, apparently just used, with about 32 gallons of spirit-- wash still remaining therein, along with every cle necessary to the process of distillation. On h)ok ing further, they f o und 160 g a ll ons o f s pi r i ts of wine, 80 gallons of molasses wash, and smaller qUantities of spirits, in stone jars and tubs about the ware house, to the amount of twenty gallons more, all of different strengths and quality. Having secured all the spirit, &c. they • returned to the front shop, where the Defendant in custody was found, and on being taxed with the offence, he did not deny it, but - acknowledged that a short time before he had.been working at the' still, and pleaded-that he was ionly servant. In the mean time, Mr. Renshaw came in, and instead of denying the offence, immediately of fered to pay the 301. penalty for his porter; .but the Officers refused it, until the business should come before the Magistrate, and brought the Prisoner im mediately to the Compter, and conveyed the spirits seized to the Excise Office. The Magistrate having heard the statement of the officers, dire6ted the defendant to pay a fine of 301. which was immediately done, and he was .dis charged, MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--A singular kind of a charge was yesterday wade at this Office against a lady who teaches music, in the neighbourhood of Fitzroy-square, by a Mr. Ward, the step-father of a young, lady, her apprentice.. It appeared that 180 guineas had been paid to the music-mistress as an apprentice-fee, with an engagement that'the young lady should be completed in her necessary educa tion, and instructed in the science of music. It was recently ascertained that the apprentice did not reside with her mistress, and on inquiry being made after her by her friends, they were informed slice was finishing her education in the country, but •at what place the mistress refused to answer. On the defendant being interrogated as to the cause of the disposal of her apprentice itr such a manner, • she stated that her • misconduct rendered such steps .ne cessary. On her being asked by the Magistrate, the defendant said that the apprentice was at New castle, and a future day was fixed for the business to be lay investigated. QUEEN-SQUARE.--A man natned Smart, who lives in St. George's Fields, 'was heard on a sefious 'charge of harbouring two deserters from the 68thi Regiment of Foot, taking into his charge their.arms; accoutrements, clothing, &c. with a guilty knoiv ledge and improper intention. He was, under the late Mutiny Act, sent to the County Gaol of Surrey, and there to remain, without bail or mainprize, for six months. A man named Williams, for a heavy assault, was sent to the County Gaol of Surrey, from Bow-street, and remains till the January Sessions. J ' • Yesterday Mrs. Steward, wife of Mr. Steward, a Clerk belonging to one, of the Public Offices in Downing -street; made her appearance to answer to a chargé made against her by Mrs. Smith, of Chan cery-lane, who stated, ' that on Tuesday last she went to the residence of Mr, Steward to procure the wage. due . to - a relative of hers for her service in the family, as also some wearing apparel belong ing to her, the latter of which it appeared she ob tained ; but wishing to see Mrs. Steward to get -the cash, she was informed by the servant that his mis tress was not at home; on which she requested to stay in the passage till her return, where she had not remained long before Mrs. Steward came down stairs, who desired to know what she wanted ? and on being informed she wished to have the wages due, the defendant approached her, and pushed her violently against the door, threatening to send for a constable ; and, notwithstanding the, complainant was far advanced in a state of pregnancy, Mrs. Stew ard orderpd her black servant to kick her out, which he accordplished with the brutality of an Africani4 beating her most unmercifully ; on which she was obliged to take refuge from his ferocity into the op posite house, where she immediately fainted away, and.temained there for some time. Catharine Williams, servant to Mrs. Platt, stated, that she heard the cry of " Murder !" and on going to the window, perceived Blackey beating Mrs. Smith, as above described. On which the Derenda j , was held to bail to answer to the Complainant next, Sessions. On Saturday last, at Berwick, there was a very heavy gale of wind, which did considerable damage to many houses,.by stripping the tiles from off the roofs and breaking down chimnies. The only serious misfortune occurred at Church -street, where a stack of chimnies fell on and broke in the roof, and buried a woman - (the wife of Mr. Hall, bookbinder) in the ruins. She was afterwards got out, but so much bruised, and with one-leg broken in two places, that 'she is deemed to be in great danger of her life. A Schooner laden with lime, from Sunderland, was driven on shore near Scremerson mill; and soon went to pieces; fortunately the men were saved. All the new lamps on the bridge were carried off by the violence of the gale. MUSTAPHA PASHAW BAIRAKTAR, tow Grand Vi zier, was born at Rat zgrad, of very poor parents.— At first he was a labourer in agriculture, and after wards traded in cattle. -In the war between the Turks and the Russians he displayed much skill and intrepidity. A standard, the bearer of which was killed, having 'fallen into the hands of the enemy, he retook' it, and notwithstanding the severity of his wounds, brought it back to the army. This, bold action procured him the surname of BAIRAK4' TAR. The principal dependents and Ministers of the late Sultan MUSTAPHA have been put to death, and their heads placed on the walls of the Seraglio. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has signified his desire, that an increase may take place in the Yeo ' manry Corps of that kingtlom. Last Friday evening, about seven o'clock, during the short absence of a servant maid, a Gentleman's house in at;tten Ann-street West, was entered by,a gang of thieve 4; who stripped the house of a laiige : quantity of linen and other valuable articles ; a heavy bundle packed up was found lying at one end of the street, supposed to be too weighty for one of them to carry, or that they were alarmed. 1 F T
